A Series from the Psalms
I embrace the Holy Spirit’s presence as it nudges me to grow in grace. Let the bloom of the tiger lily remind me to be bold —
to shine light where people need it most.
Tiger lilies respond to light. They stand tall, even in the wildest places. Their unexpected beauty is part of what makes them bold. There is something sacred going on. Each is stunning in color. Oranges, pinks, and yellows.
Joshua 1:9 reminds us, “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Morning greets these courageous flowers as they fill with water and unfurl their petals. “Glory to God in the highest,” they seem to say. Afternoon warms them and keeps them safe. Evening whispers to their petals, “It’s time to tuck your petals in, like tucking yourself into bed.” And when night falls, the cool air sweeps through the fields as if the angels themselves are kissing each bloom goodnight.
Like tiger lilies, we wait for angels to tuck us in each night, too. We fill ourselves with rest so we can greet each day anew. Maybe that’s why this bloom speaks so deeply to the soul.
God is shaping us. He is providing rest. He is preparing us.
There’s no pressure.
No expectation.
Just an invitation.
Tiger lilies teach us that courage grows in hidden places. It forms in the moments no one sees. Prayers in the dark. Decisions made behind closed doors. These quiet steps strengthen us little by little. Each moment is an opportunity to be brave and to grow in grace.
May you be bold like the tiger lily.
May you go where no one else dares to go.
May your faith draw you closer to God.
